Laverton electorate

 Sarah CONNOLLY (Laverton) (14:41): (1703) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. It has been just over two weeks, but Victorians have overwhelmingly backed our government’s 20 per cent off rego rebate. For the average motorist, applying for this rebate puts $186 per vehicle back into their pocket. For the average family with two vehicles, that is 370 bucks they get back. It is real cost-of-living support right now and money that you would not have had otherwise put back into your pockets. I have to say, I have never seen a cost-of-living support more popular than this one. Not even our amazing power saving bonuses that we have previously run have gathered this much interest. Over the past two weeks I have been out talking to folks in my electorate about this rebate, and my staff have told me that the phones have not stopped ringing. Victorians know and appreciate that we are offering this support. My question to the minister is: how is the 20 per cent off registration program helping people in my electorate of Laverton with the cost-of-living pressures?
